Re: Prilimary question

Sounds like you are on a Windows machine.

You will need to use "nmake.exe" instead of "make".

You can download nmake from Microsoft at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe.

'make' is traditionally used in compiling and linking software from a command line. (The GUI also does this behind your back).

In case your module requires a c compiler, you can get one here:
Win32 gcc: http://www.mingw.org/

...each is assigned his own private delusion but he cannot see the baggage on his own back.

Note that which ever C compiler to use to compile modules must have been the same or very close to the same one that compiled your perl binary. For example, if you're using the Activestate distribution, you can get away with using VisualStudio C++ 6 to compile modules, but I seriously doubt that GCC will work for it. If you want to use an alternate compiler, you need to compile your perl with it first.	[reply]
